Romain Grosjean: “It was quite a wait to get going whilst it rained in the morning; I spent a lot of time chatting with my engineers and I even thought there might be time for a game of poker! Fortunately conditions were better in the afternoon so we were able to get some productive running done. The damp track did keep me pretty alert, especially as you have to be very careful of the kerbs when running with the aero-rakes and other data logging equipment.”
Alan Permane, Trackside Operations Director: “It wasn’t the most productive of days - certainly the morning was a write-off - but we did manage to dodge the showers in the afternoon to complete some valuable set-up and aero work. The track dried pretty quickly once the heavy morning rain stopped, so we did get a respectable tally of laps given the conditions. Tomorrow has potential for better weather so we’re looking forward to completing more of our programme with Jolyon.”
